Just done my last trip of the year. Not because I don't want to go again, it's because my freezer is full of cod and ling, this is all down to Rich Cope and his boat Mistress,every time I fish with him I come home with enough fillets to feed a small army. I can not fault Rich in any way he's always on hand to sort out tangles, landing fish, and even tying traces for inexperienced anglers so they stand a chance of landing a decent sized ling or cod. I would recommend him to anybody that is wanting to have a good days wreck fishing. See you soon Rich. .......................Ivan.
Had a great day fishing on Mistress with her excellent skipper Rich. I went with my two brothers who are both sea fishing novices. Rich took the time to ensure that everyone knew what they were doing so crossed lines were kept to a minimum and everyone caught. I landed my first north sea pollock and added a few cod/ling/whiting. I even had a bit of fish envy when one of the guys landed an 8lb Wolf fish. Rich worked hard all day. I've been with several skippers now and I thought he was by far the best. Thanks Rich!
Skippers Reponse: I'm really glad you enjoyed your day with us Peter, and thanks for taking the time to complete a review. I look forward to seeing you all next time, best wishes, Rich
rich has to be the best skipper i have been with, he works hard for all fishing and when the marks dryup moves you onto another mark, we had 5 ling between 10-15lb, cod 6lb and two of the ugliest fish i have ever seen there was loads of fun had through out they day. would reccomend to all wanting a great value for money guy. cheers for the trip see you again soon .ady
Skippers Reponse: Thanks for putting us a review in Ady. Glad you all enjoyed your day, and landed a few better fish! I look forward to seeing you all onboard again soon, Best wishes, Rich
WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY OUT ON THE MISTRESS!!! (24-07-13) I cannot recommend this boat/skipper combination highly enough! Superb!! Eight of us hired the Mistress for a days fishing. This was only my second time out; the first (on another boat) was in horrendous weather resulting in a very low catch for the day (me with only one), so I wasn’t expecting great things. How wrong could I be?! Rich seemed a little concerned about catching much as it was a very high 6M tide (does that make a difference?!) but we duly set off keen and eager. From the very first stop we were catching. As soon as the bites dried up Rich was straight off to the next spot where the catching began again! I think during the whole day we only drew a blank on one marker. Everyone caught well, even me landing eight which made my day, and I think in the end we landed nearly sixty good sized fish between us! Rich’s enthusiasm, skill and friendliness really made the day. As soon as we stopped to fish he was out of the cabin helping land fish, unravel tangles, giving advice and generally encouraging us to ‘go for it lads’. I believe he had as much fun as we did! Rich, I’d like to thank you again for a GREAT day. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun. We all came back delighted. I’m looking forward to sailing (and catching) with you again. Cheers Mate!
Skippers Reponse: Thanks for a great review Guy, we had a great days sport with plenty of banter. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. All the very very best. Rich
